OUR STORY
Born and bred in Yorkshire, Sewell Construction delivers a host of construction projects for both the public and private sector. Ranging from small scale extensions through to large scale new developments, we work collaboratively with our clients, supply chain and communities across the region, with sustainability and total quality front of mind.
We’re part of the Sewell Group, which means we have a long and illustrious history dating all the way back to 1876; that’s almost 150 years of experience in delivering not only construction projects, but investments, developments, strategic consultancy, data mapping and facilities management across the North of England.
For nine consecutive years, we’ve also been a Sunday Times Top 100 Place to Work For, also recently being recognised as a 3-star World-Class company to work for in the UK Best Companies survey.
Our biggest achievement to date is being one of only 18 businesses across the country to receive a Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity as part of the Sewell Group – the most prestigious accolade a business can get. We have our people to thank for that, and with a culture that sets us apart from most, our mission is to be a great place to work so we can be a great and innovative company to deal with.

OUR COMMITMENTS
BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
What does sustainability mean to you? To us, it means keeping four key areas in constant balance to maintain a sustainable and healthy business, for maximum positive impact.
Our four pillars came directly from our people and were recognised as the key attributes of a successful business. We refer to these as our ‘Sewell Compass’ and it means we work hard to focus on each area equally, keeping our business objectives in balance.
Take a more in-depth look at our sustainability journey.
OUR PEOPLE
Our people are talented, cared for and unleashed, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without recruiting and developing people with the same mindset and values, all with different backgrounds, perspectives and approaches.
We have some of the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in their field of expertise, all sharing a common drive to build better futures for the next generation, as well as providing an exceptional service for our customers.

SPEAKING THROUGH OUR ACTIONS
We’re unique in our approach to how we do things around here. We employ from within our communities, for our communities. Quite simply, our people care about doing the right thing and getting to know our customers, so our team can become an extension of yours.
People do business with people
WHAT SETS US APART
People do business with people, and we’ve been told we have a certain way about us that sets us apart from most. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking to a Project Manager, an Engineer, Health & Safety Manager, Design Coordinator, or one of our trades and crafts team, you’ll all know where we come from, why we’re here, and what we stand for as a business.
A shared sense of purpose
THE SEWELL WAY
We’re part of a diverse group of businesses with a shared sense of purpose. United by our culture, our vision is to enrich people’s lives and make the world a better place. We make it our mission to be a great place to work, so we can be a great and innovative company to deal with.
But don’t just take our word for it – our story is best told by our people, that’s why we created a Culture Book for you to see for yourself.
"It has always been important to me to find a company that was a good cultural fit and would invest in my career development. This couldn’t be more true here at Sewell."
